Wrestlers in the wrong roles

Recommended Posts

Guest

There's a bunch of guys who aren't being used properly as far as heel and face goes.

Triple H needs to be heel. I think everyone agrees on the fact that no one is buying him as a face.

Jericho needs to either be the sarcastic comic heel or sarcastic comic face, either way he needs to be funny and sarcastic-he is so great on the mic and they don't take advantage of it at all.

Edge needs to be heel and he needs to be with Christian. They wanted to push him as a singles competitor, but I think they should wait a few more years on that and they should've kept E&C together, at least for the time being. Of course, now that they split them up, it'd be hard to bring them back together.

Undertaker needs to be face, he gets bigger pops as a heel than most guys do as a face. He has the badass character, so it's not like the fans are going to dislike him because he's mean.

Test needs to leave the WWF... oh wait, that doesn't really count, we're just doing heel/face status here...

Of course, there's the then endless list of guys who are being misused, but that list would go on for days. So, can anyone think of any others or disagree with the ones I have here?

They should let Jericho write his own stuff like WCW did and put him in the "loophole" character he had in WCW.

 

Kevin Nash should have a bit more comidic role to his charactor, his stuff in WCW was gold.

 

Booker T needs to be a face.

 

DDP needs to be back to his WCW role.

"Jericho needs to either be the sarcastic comic heel or sarcastic comic face, either way he needs to be funny and sarcastic-he is so great on the mic and they don't take advantage of it at all."

 

Sounds good to me. I'd also like to see the return on Benoit as a killer heel who puts anyone that looks at him cross eyed in the cross face.

 

I have to disagree with Edge and Christian becoming a team again. I'd much rather they have a chance to get over as singles competitors first. I have a feeling that Edge is one defining moment away from the upper card. Besides, they were heels for what, a year and a half? If they get back together, I'd rather it be as comedic faces. Hell, I wish the WWF would just put all of the comedically inclined workers together and split the shows between cruiserweight matches and skits. But that's just me.

"Angle needs to be out of the midcard."

 

Yeah, because getting the show's top promo segment and teaming with Vince against HHH and Ric Flair is the sure sign of a midcarder...

Jericho can stay a heel but be the prick role he had in WCW.

Benoit back as a monster Heel with a manager.

reform E&C I just don't see it happening for Edge his character seems limited to me and his matches have been pretty uninspiring. E&C had great matches.

HHH heel but not just yet.

Taker If you got rid of the bike entrance and had him show some weakness I think he'd be a great Heel. When the music hits and he comes out on the bike the place goes nuts. But I can't remember a time when a large portion of the audience didn't cheer him. Even Tuesday in Texas you can see there's people cheering Taker in the audience.

turn the Hardy's and put them in the flock.

Raven needs the Flock and to stop dressing like Adam Ant.

Rock needs a turn I really don't think people are so stupid that they won't see his movie if he's a heel. People won't see the movie because it's meant to be shit.

Booker seems to work better as a face.

DDP should never have excepted the buy out from Time Warner.

Dudley's a few months away from each other and then faces.

Everyone else I can think of on the Roster is okay as they are.

I know he's no longer in the role, but Kurt Angle has a face was just not him. I know he got big ass pops, but I think that was because of the whole patriotism thing going on at the time. Anyway he is just...a heel

actually, i think angle has a damn good babyface character somewhere inside him.  i think his flop is more the result of the writers taking his character & trying to mesh him into "steve austin meets the patriot."  i don't have anything to back that up, that's just the impression that i got.

Edge & Christian & Jericho & Angle can be a great sarcastic stable with the return of the 5 second pose, Jericho doing the conspiracy theory character and Angle as the Enforcer snapping on anybody who disagree with them.

 

DDP as a Heel

Booker T as a face

Kanyon when he returns as a face

We could call it "Midcard Mayhem" or "Fuck Angle and Jericho"

 

And I think Kanyon is too abrasive to be a face.

Anglesault, if it were up to you, who should Vince elevate next...excluding Angle since I know that you think he should be forever main event without peril.

Booker should be a face, Edge a heel, HHH a heel, Rock a heel, Taker a face.

 

I think tha Austin/Angle program bombed because of Austin not being anti-America, the fans had no reason to cheer Kurt's patriotism because of this.  Plus after 9/11 it seemed as though the WWF was exploiting the attack with Kurt as Mr. USA.  Even though the angle started well before 9/11.  Kurt was massivley over a face before Summerslam and then his act grew stale and exploitative IMO.

It's fine for now. (Excluding Angle)

So then who should Edge feud with? Obviously, you want Kurt Angle in the main event.

 

Should Angle be in Kane's place? Do you want to see Angle take on the nWo by himself? Do you want to watch Kurt Angle have to lay down to X-pac after a run-in behind the ref's back? God, I hope not.

 

I think Angle is right where he should be. He shouldn't have even been in the main event. He's just like Goldberg & The Giant. Thrust into the spotlight too early. He should've had to work at it like HBK or Bret Hart did. Austin even.

so as an honest question, what would you do with Edge as a competitor, and on a totally unrelated note, what is your avatar?

1. Team Edge with Christian

2. My avatar is a pack of Nu Salt.

Shouldn't Christian be heading to WWF Sunday Night Heat to be in the new cruiserweight division though?

Another completely honest question, and hopefully you won't say kill him, what should they do with test?

 

Edge adn Christian could benefit either from reuniting, I could see that work...........or............by getting a good push and fued from the bookers for once.  I mean "I throw tantrums when I;m unhappy" and "I smile becaue I'm cool" are not  good angles, no pun intended.

OK, so assuming Edge & Christian do get back together who are they going to feud with? The Hardyz some more? Perhaps turn the Hardyz "heel" & E&C can be the faces this time around? As of right now, the Dudleyz & the APA are on different shows, so who else could they feud with? For that matter, which show would E&C be on?

 

Did you like Kurt Angle when he was in Team "ECK" with Edge & Christian? You obviously don't like the idea of an Edge/Angle feud, so do you just hate Edge? Why can't Edge just be elevated to Main-event level, would you still disapprove of Angle in a feud with him then? Do you still think that a Hogan/Angle feud would be better than an Angle/Edge feud just because it would be the last match shown on the card?

 

Do you like anyone other than Angle? Don't you think that Angle should've had to work his way up to the main event over a long period of time such as Austin, Hart, or HBK?

 

Why does Angle even deserve the main event?

If Benoit comes back and starts a feud with Angle, will you disapprove? It won't be a main event feud.

Anglesault is right E & C need each other.  There "off beat shenanigans" were way more over than anything they have done since has gotten.  They should pull the plug on Edge's singles push for a while and re-team them.  But give them some singles matches.  The 5-second poses and there goofy catchphrases were funny and the fans poped for them, they should bring them back.  Plus Christian carried the team IMO and Edge needs him more than Christian needs Edge.  Christian cut and devilered his promos better and did most of the work in the ring.  Christian came acroos as legitimate wise-ass and Edge seemed a little bit forced.

Keep him off TV for a LOOONG time.

Yes.

Edge is boring and stale.

 

 

 

Do you still think that a Hogan/Angle feud would be better than an Angle/Edge feud just because it would be the last match shown on the card?

 

Yes.

 

I'll answer the other questions later.

Well, by the time you answer the other questions, I will have already made more.

 

You say that you did like Kurt Angle when he was in team ECK, but then you say Edge is boring & stale.. so did you like Edge when he was in team ECK? Have you ever liked Edge? Will you ever like Edge?

 

You complained when Val Venis beat Kurt Angle in Canada during a house show. Would you complain if Kurt Angle lost to William Regal in Blackpool, England? Should he be such a "big star" that he never loses unless it is to an established main eventer. Would that even makes sense, considering in your eyes, Kurt Angle currently isn't an established main eventer. Should Razor Ramon not have lost to the 1-2-3 Kid back on RAW years ago?

Part Two.

 

Do you like anyone other than Angle?

 

Of course I do.

 

 

 

Don't you think that Angle should've had to work his way up to the main event over a long period of time such as Austin, Hart, or HBK

 

I feel that when you are ready, you're ready.

 

 

 

Why does Angle even deserve the main event?

 

Yes I do. He's the most over heel and one of the best workers in the company.

 

 

 

If Benoit comes back and starts a feud with Angle, will you disapprove? It won't be a main event feud.

 

That's like a shade under main event. It could main event raw and be like three matches from the top of a PPV. I have no pronlem with that.

Yes, I did like Edge. He is just a very bad face. A heel turn and reunion with Christian would work. I'd really like Team ECK to reform.

 

You complained when Val Venis beat Kurt Angle in Canada during a house show. Would you complain if Kurt Angle lost to William Regal in Blackpool, England?

 

Regal isn't a jobber.

 

 

 

Should he be such a "big star" that he never loses unless it is to an established main eventer.

 

Yes.
